| ‘Back to school’ means ‘back to basics’ for kids’ clothing
(ARA) - Back to school season can be trying on a family’s budget. In addition to each classroom’s list of school supplies and the kids’ pleas for extras, there are plenty of expenses that don’t appear on the class list. School clothes often top the list and deplete the budget. Learning how to care for clothing is an often overlooked piece of the puzzle.
From bright, white polo shirts bearing the insignia of the institution and deep plaid patterns that can fade with washing to their favorite pair of jeans or brightly patterned dress, children’s clothing speaks volumes about their parents’ washing habits. What’s worse is that 79 percent of consumers suffer chlorine bleach accidents and spills. If you are going to invest in new school clothes or uniforms, protect your investment by maximizing the life and look of school clothing.
First, read the labels when caring for your clothes. Ninety-seven percent of clothing labels warn against the use of chlorine bleach, according to a survey taken by Millward Brown on behalf of Reckitt Benckiser. By using a safe, effective chlorine bleach alternative, like Spray ‘n Wash Bright & White, you can fight stains on both colors and whites in one easy step. And with many schools requiring uniforms that consist of white shirts and dark or patterned pants, you can cut down on washes by using a stain fighter that is safe and enhances the looks of whites and colors.
When added to detergent, Spray ‘n Wash Bright & White successfully removes stains and keeps clothes looking bright while delivering incredible whitening benefits. Formulated for use on fabrics in every color, it is safe to use on your favorite garments -- even those in which manufacturers instruct against using bleach. It also prevents against those costly chlorine bleach accidents and spills.
It’s important to remember that the back-to-school shopping trip is only the first step. Taking care of children’s clothing at home is an easy way to ensure that clothing lasts all school year.
